Confused About Next Steps After E-Filing Your ITR? Let's Figure It Out Together

Hi All, I did online e-filing and received the ITR-V through email. I signed the ITR-V and sent it via Speed Post to CPC. I then received the acknowledgment through email. I am unsure of what to do next. Please guide me. 

Once you send the hard copy by post, nothing else needs to be done. You will receive a confirmation email for the receipt in another 2 weeks' time.

Jeevarthnam, thanks for the reply. I got the confirmation email for receipt as well. Sorry for not explaining my problem clearly in my previous post.

Issue with Gender Mistake in Tax Filing

The problem is that "my gender" was mistyped as "female," and I got a tax exemption for 1,90,000 Rs, which is incorrect. I discovered this error while filling out the ITR form. Therefore, I now need to pay 1,000 Rs in tax. I understand that "if there is any tax refund, it would be directly credited to the account I provided in the ITR form," but I am unsure about the process for paying tax. Please enlighten me.

Hi Saravana, you should pay it from your bank and file a revised return. In the revised return, you can specify the payment details like the BSR code and bank.

Filing an Income Tax Return (ITR)

While filing the ITR, you have the option of specifying it as either Original or Revised. In the case of a revised return, it will prompt you for the date of the original return filed and the acknowledgment number of the original.

Ok Jeevarathnam, but what changes do I need to make in the revised return because the original return has been filed with the correct values, and it indicates that I need to pay tax? Unlike Form 16, which states Nil Tax. Please clarify for me.
